Abstract
An amount of total overhead allocated by a wireless system for transmitting channel state information by a plurality of mobile stations serviced by the wireless system can be controlled by allocating a reporting interval, reporting size and subset of subcarriers to each of the mobile stations for use by the mobile stations in reporting channel state information on the subcarriers included in the subset allocated to the respective mobile stations. At least one of the reporting interval, reporting size and subset of subcarriers allocated to one or more of the mobile stations is modified as a function of the number of mobile stations reporting channel state information so that the total overhead allocated for transmitting the channel state information on all of the subcarriers remains generally constant regardless of the number of mobile stations reporting channel state information.
